Only 600ly away? That's not even a stone's throw away given the size of the Universe. Should be easy to get there!

I'm so ready to colonize

I rather not live on a planet with twice the gravity of Earth.  That's a heart attack waiting to happen.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Depends on the density.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I say we send Tim to investigate this planet. We can send him there in a spaceship powered by child-like naivety and spelling mistakes.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

I demand that NASA cancell all science which will not produce a practical result in my lifetime.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

We must conserve our Tim energy to loose upon our terrestrial foes.  Air drop him into China.  Collapse will rapidly follow after he convinces them to colonize the sun.

I hear you can get to .9c with a child-like naivety fission-fusion engine.

There's still plenty of volcanoes.

Depends on the density.

I suppose it could made entirely of plutonium and then it would be poisonous and radioactive in addition to having extremely high gravity.

How would one measure the solidity/composition of a planet 600 ly away?
